This is what we do….

For Artists, Photographers and Businesses

Image Capture

We are able to digitise artists original art works and create high resolution digital files. From these we can produce first class reproductions as well as greetings cards, post cards, artist portfolio booklets and web ready images.

Colour Matching

An essential part of our image workflow is the “colour matching” were we compare the digital image to the original and work on the colours to match your original. After you see a test print this can then be further edited in front of you if required. After all we all see colour slightly differently.

Following years of experience and developing technologies we are able to deliver high quality fine art prints. Using genuine Canon inks in our large format twelve colour pigment ink Giclee printers and archival fine art papers and canvases you can be assured of a quality product.

From art work we have digitised or form images you have supplied we can design a number of different products for you. These include greetings cards or postcards with your images on. For photographers and artists alike we can also design portfolio booklets with your work and information about yourself to give to galleries and potential buyers.

Marketing Material

For businesses and artists alike we can design and print business cards, posters, flyers or fulfil any other printing of marketing material requirement. We can provide different standard papers from 80gsm to 250gsm for your everyday printing needs.

What our customers say.....

Sharyn

Nick provided an extremely professional service but with a personal touch and went out of his way to sort out my project. Everything was done to a high standard, at a very competitive price and completed before the deadline. I would definitely recommend The Ink Pot to others.

Salt studio shop

Nick has just printed our cards and has gone to a lot of trouble to match the colours of the original image as exactly as possible. We at salt studio shop are very pleased with the result and look forward to using The InkPot again for all our printing requirements.

Ann

"In this day and age it seems 'de rigueur' to complain and criticise when service is not up to scratch. Rightly so, but I want to sing the praises of the brilliant Nick Du Boulay of Inkpot printers in Bruton. As an artist needing giclee copies of my original work I wouldn't use anyone else. Care and attention to detail resulting in fantastic prints is the norm. Don't just take my word for it!"

Charlie

Nick has printed several of my photographs. His attention to detail is excellent and he ensures that the end result is always to the highest quality. I have always been delighted with the results.

Jackie

I make cut paper images which do not re-produce well when photographed as they lose some of their directness. Nick scanned , colour matched and printed them on beautiful paper. The colour is excellent and the detail very accurate including the shadows which show that my work is cut paper. Nick works hard to get the result I want and I recommend him highly.

Sandra

“Nick is an excellent photographer, both for image capture of artworks in the studio and outside work. He has an attention to detail and an artistic eye that is essential for his work along with excellent customer service focus. Nick has photographed around 40 of my paintings some as large as 6ft x 4ft with outstanding results in the colour matching and printing.”

Peter

We asked Nick to create two giclee prints from two old family portraits which were looking worse for ware. When we got the prints they were an excellent reproduction in colour as well as all the deterioration marks had been removed. They have now been framed and look fantastic. Great work thank you so much

A simple idea

"The act of printing has always seemed to me a miracle, just such a miracle as the
growing up of a tiny seed of grain to an ear - an everyday miracle, even the greater
because it happens everyday. One drawing is sown on the stone or the etching plate, and
a harvest is reaped from it."

- from Van Gogh's letters
